Otherwise wait for few seconds to al-
low the engine cooling, then open
slowly and carefully the cap, top up
coolant and check whether its level is
falling between MINand MAXmarks
in the reservoir. Check visually any
leak. If, when restarting, the warning
light comes on again, contact Fiat
Dealership.
–vehicle heavy duty(e.g.: towing
trailer uphill of fully laden vehicle): de-
crease speed, if the warning light stays
on, stop the vehicle. Wait for 2 or 3
minutes leaving the engine on and
slightly accelerated to further activate
the circulation of the coolant fluid,
then switch the engine off. Check
proper coolant level as described pre-
viously.

The cooling system is
pressurised. If necessary,
replace the cap only with
another genuine one, otherwise
system efficiency could be com-
promised. Do not remove the
reservoir cap when the engine is
hot: you risk scalding yourself.
The coolant level shall be checked
with cold engine and shall be within
the MINand MAXmarks on the
tank.
If the level is low, pour slowly a mix-
ture of 50% distilled water and 50%
PARAFLU UPof the FL Selenia
Group through the filler neck until the
level reaches MAX.
A 50-50 mixture of PARAFLU UP
and distilled water gives freeze pro-
tection to –35°C.
For particularly hard climate condi-
tions, we recommend use of a 60%
PARAFLU UP and 40% deminer-
alized water mixture.

30% of TUTELA PROFESSION-
AL SC 35and 70% of water in sum-

The engine cooling sys-
tem uses protective an-
tifreeze fluid PARAFLU
UP. Use the same fluid type as
that already in the cooling system
when topping up. PARAFLU UP
fluid cannot be mixed with any
other type of fluid. Should it hap-
pen, under no circumstances
start the engine; contact a Fiat
Dealership.
